Hi thanks for your reply. But what I was wondering if there is something like the smart dock for the note 2 with USB and HDMI all in one. The connection on the smart dock won't fit the ultra becouse it's different. I wish I could just connect it to my ultra but it won't fit. Thanks

There isn't an official one yet but I'm sure they'll make one soon. They're also developing a car holder that uses the magnetic charge port.

I can only hope it happens....

Unless you plug in the MHL cable to the USB port by opening the flap, then set it in the cable, it won't happen. The dock connector is for charging only. No data transfer. Unless, you pair devices by NFC or WiFi... Lets see.

Used with a dock it can be very good. They write it as new, but don't know if it is available yet.

[Q] Note 717 Hooked to a monitor

I have been using the Note 717 as my home computer. I downloaded Liquid smooth 4.1.2 and now the HDMI to Micro USB adapter doesn't recognize the monitor? Please help....I would also like other ideas for hooking the phone to a monitor. The cables constantly cause issues with connection. thanks you
I have used several different galaxy phones for TV out of monitor out. The galaxy s was sweeet had TV out 3.5 to rca. Since then I had a nexus and just bought the note. In my experience its best to put the phone somewhere it won't be touched and buy a Bluetooth mouse keyboard combo. They have some sweet ones from rii on eBay for around 50. If you can't resist touching the phone instead make a dock or a seat for the phone that holds it in place and connect the cables in the bottom

Is it an mhl adapter? Thats what you need to connect it to a monitor/tv
Actually, I haven't seen mhl work on any JB ROM.

MHL for xperia tablet z?

The mhl port on this tablet has a weird shape to it, I can't fit my 11 pin mhl cable that works with my galaxy note 2 into the port.
Does anyone know if the xtz uses a 5 pin port? Or can anyone point me to an mhl cable that's compatible with this tab?
Thanks

The tablet Z uses the 5 pin mhl. I have one and it works fine.
the 11 pin mhl should at least fit at the port is just a standard microusb / mhl port, which you would also use for charging and data transfer.
It might fit, I didn't try to hard out of fear of damaging the port. The 11 pin plug has this indent that is supposed to prevent you from sticking it in a normal micro usb port

but sony mhl adaptor IM750 has only added advantage, it's cec compatible, ie, you can control the phone ( every mhl xperia phone) or tablet ( not confirmed or verified by anyone yet), via tv remote, you can do almost anything apart from call the phone
basically with cec compatible, you can use the phone or tablet as a media player with no hassle, I had working via dk22 dock for xperia tx, micro hdmi via xperia arc before that.
IM750 is the non dock version, Samsung official mhl adaptor ( whether for s2, s3 or mhl2 standard s4 - not confirmed) is not cec compatible.
I bought cheap 5 pin mhl adapter from ebay. I can't post link jet.
It is For Samsung Galaxy S2 HTC/Nexus/Note but it won't work with my tablet z. Mhl icon appears on my tablet status bar but tv is black- no picture no sound.
I use original charger to power mhl adapter and i did everything like in youtube sony offical mhl tutorial videoideo with tanja
Any ideas why others work galaxy s2 adapter?
Spg321, android 4.2.2 stock non rooted
also bought a fosmon adaptor from ebay for the tab it work ok but the output display side bars on my TV. (tried it on two different HDTV) The TV is set for 1080p. I got in the service menu and force test MHL video to 1920x1080p and still have the side bars ?????
May the problem be caused by fact that my tv is not fullHD, it is 720p?
Item description from ebay:

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II MHL HDTV Adapter and although it works it is not a good fit for the tablet and puts pressure on the port cover. I have not used it much so have not replaced it but if I was using it regularly I wouldn't be happy with Samsung's offering.

Wireless charging case for ZU?

Does anybody know of the existance of a wireless charging case for the Xperia Z Ultra?
Given that there are 2 external contacts for the magnetic charger plug to attach to, I would have thought that it would be relatively straightforward to create a case which has the receiving coil in the back, and which connects to these contacts to charge the Ultra.
They seem to be out there for the Z - however, an internet search doesn't seem to come up with anything for the Ultra. Or have I missed something?
(This is an example of what I'm talking about, but it's for the Z, not the Ultra: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/qi-wireless-charging-case-for-sony-xperia-z-p38098.htm)
I was giving thought to this just last night. I didn't find anything though. Granted, very little actually exists for our devices yet.

Having to put a 'specific' case on it to wirelessly charge seems pointless to me. The only reason I liked wireless charging was because I wasn't keen to wear out the micro USB port...
place it on the wireless dock... or
place it on the magnetic dock...
same thing really... you still need to place it on a particular device/cable to charge.. however one requires a case...

Its a convenience thing though. You can just plop the phone down on to the pad or whatever is charging it & not attach a cable etc.
I've been eyeing up the Lumia 1520 partly for this reason...

Wireless docks are easier than the magnetic docks from what I've seen, but the point of it for some is to save wear and tear on the usb port.
I reckon that it would be pretty easy to modify a Qi wireless charging card like this one to connect to the magnetic dock pins on the Z Ultra. But I'm pretty sure the charging rate will be quite slow. I just use the magnetic dock or magnetic USB cable instead.
You may wana consider this...it works for z ultra, which I m using as well.

MHL Cable/Adaptor Recomendation

Hi,
Does anyone on this forum use their Z2 over MHL?
I was wondering what MHL Cable / Adaptor you would recomend.
I have seen a Sony one, but is is very expensive (£30).
I was wondering what the thoughts on the cheaper ones were.
Thanks
in Advance.
Anyone got any recommendations for this? I too am interested.
Bought this from Maplin today ( for us with my HTC one. Tablet Z and Z2 ) so will report back when I've had time to test

I bought two adapters now and will test, but how new does a television have to be to be mhl compatible? Leaving on holiday tomorrow and would like to use my Xperia2 on the TV in the room, any good guesses on if that's a longshot?

I bought this:
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CI42C4S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which works perfectly but on my TV requires a separate power source for the MHL.
I've been using a Rocketfish MHL adapter for the appradio in the wifey's car until I can get an adequate mirrorcast dongle.
I haven't had any issues with it. It also comes with a 11 pin adapter for newer Samsung devices.
The Samsung branded 5 pin MHL adapters should also work and be found in stores(they had them at my local Bestbuy along with the Rocketfish I bought).
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do, but maybe some sort of cast dongle might be a better option.
For streaming I like using chromecast best(there's 3rd party ones that support chromecast/mirrorcast/DLNA/airplay in one unit). The user experience is much nicer with chromecast but you're limited to using apps with cast icons and a wireless network(mirrorcast/dnla don't require this).
For screen mirroring a straight HDMI cable works best but not even Motorola puts HDMI ports on their devices anymore. MHL adapters work for the most part just as well but can have more failure points and compatibility issues. I haven't tried mirrorlink yet(I do have a new appradio that supports mirrorlink as well as HDMI but it's still in the box) but from what I under stand it's not as fast as HDMI and may give noticeable lag.

Docking Charger? Which one?

Hi people..
I am a proud owner of a Xperia Z Ultra. Now however I am worried the charging port's cover tab might break some day. This has led me to think I need a Docking charger. I want to know which one is MADE FOR the Z Ultra.
I mean a charger where I can dock and the phone charges too.
Thanks.
DK30
DK-30 is the original Sony one. I have used a couple of others, but the Sony one is the only one I have found to work consistently as it should.

Thanks mate...But the DK30 isn't available in my region...Any other? Like I am getting for Z1 and Z3? but don't know if it is compatible.
The charging cover can be replaced with a new one...it is easy to replace....

I bought a dock charger off eBay that is meant for general Xperia phones. I would not recommend it as trying to dock and match the magnetic charger on the phone to that of the dock is always a struggle.... Like Sandy Bullock trying to dock anything to the International Space Station in the movie Gravity.
Have you looked on eBay or Amazon? And yes, the DK-30 is the dock I'm currently using, one I purchased from Amazon, since the one from eBay stopped working.

Maybe a magnetic cable would satisfy you? There are plenty of them on every shopping site

Better be careful with them. Heard a few have had problems with unbranded magnetic cables. The Sony dock is the way to go.

I got the Sony dock with the phone, and the Sony battery cover.
Both have pulled the charging connection off the side of the phone. You can have mine if you like.
